document and present software solutions for engineering problems.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
analyse and manipulate functions using symbolic and numerical software, including operations of entering and manipulating polynomials in suitable software and then substitution of values and graphing
analyse and manipulate matrices and determinants, numerically with and without symbolic and numerical software
design and debug programs using algorithmic control structures and output results to the screen, a graph and a file
analyse and manipulate complex numbers numerically and with symbolic software
determine and manipulate equations using advanced calculus operations of differentiation and integration numerically and with symbolic software
determine and manipulate equations of the type called ordinary differential equations (ODE) met in telecommunications engineering applications numerically and with symbolic software
determine and manipulate Laplace transforms met in telecommunications engineering applications numerically and with symbolic software
design a simulation control system and simulate queues using software.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances should be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications networks engineering field of work and include access to:
networked computers
